I think the general consesus is that Origins is the way to go with Dragon Age. You’re also more likely to see it go on sale soon now that Vailguard is out.
I’d say I’m fairly patient. It does depend on the title and how it’s handled.
If I heard Tim Cain & Leonard Boyarsky was spearheading a new Fallout, I’d be hard pressed not to buy on release.
If, however, the game is exclusive in anyway, timed or otherwise, it’s instantly blacklisted and I refuse to buy it at all. (I have an array of chips on my shoulders, I know)
But other than that specific scenario, I can wait for a good sale, no problem.
